Today I present the tab for Hollywood by Tobias Jesso Jr, which I assume will feature on his upcoming debut LP
entitled Goon, he's a really talented guy and I think a lot more people should listen to his music. Obviously
the original song is all played on the piano so I tried to translate the chords to guitar best I could, I 
think
it sounds pretty good as it is but you might want to play around with a couple of the chords to find the 
perfect
sound for you. Enjoy, as always.

INTRO
 
F   Am   Bb   Gm  F  C
 
VERSE
 
F              Am     Gm  Am             Bb
I was looking forward to see where I was going,
       C                       Bb         Am                G7
But I don't know if I can make it, no, I don't know if I could,
Bb              Am         G
Think I'm gonna try in Hollywood.
 
F              Am      Gm     Am              Bb
Well, I had to find my way by looking at the city,
    C                     Bb           Am              G7
I don't know if I can fake it if they tell me I'm no good,
Bb                Am        G
I think I'm gonna fry in Hollywood.
 
CHORUS
 
             F                     Am     Bb
Well, I'm a man, I was brought up right,
  Gm               F                 C
I said my prayers every night since 1995,
       Bb        C             Am              Bb
And I pray, God help me, I've done the best I could,
                      Am         G
But I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood,
Bb              Am        C
Think I'm gonna die in Hollywood.
 
F               Am     Gm    C             Bb
So I found the best advice; go and get a job,
       C                  Bb              Am            G
But I don't know if I can take it cause I never understood,
Bb             Am         G
How everybody lies in Hollywood.
 
F             Am     Gm     C                 Bb
Somewhere, I lost my mind; it's never coming back,
    C                     Bb            Am                G
And I don't know if I can make it and I don't know if I should,
Bb                Am           G
I think I'll say goodbye to Hollywood.
 
CHORUS
 
             F                     Am     Bb
Well, I'm a man, I was brought up right,
  Gm               F                 C
I said my prayers every night since 1995,
       Bb        C             Am              Bb
And I pray, God help me, I've done the best I could,
                      Am         G
But I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood,
Bb              Am        C
Think I'm gonna die in Hollywood,
Dm               C        Bb
Think I'm gonna die in Hollywood,
Bb              Am        G
Think I'm gonna die in Hollywood.

I think the Bb is a regular B, and everything is a bar chord not an open chord. I also think the G major on the word Hollywood is incorrect. And the C major sounds off to me too. Any suggestions for guitar? Thanks for starting up the tab! Love TJJ!
